Accor Vacation Club has begun a refurbishment of its Victorian Highland Country resort, The Sebel Pinnacle Valley, scheduled for completion in quarter three.

The four-star resort located 30 minutes from Mount Buller is an important contributor to the local economy, with more than 3,200 stays through Accor Vacation Club last year and delivering an estimated economic impact exceeding $15 million.

The Sebel Pinnacle Valley features an adult pool, kids’ pool, sauna, tennis courts, gym, 18-hole mini golf course and barbecue facilities.

The refurbishment project will see all 43 studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments refreshed in keeping with the property’s lodge-style aesthetic. Upgrades will include a fresh coat of paint, new armchairs, kettles and toasters, as well as the addition of coffee machines in each apartment.

Infrastructure updates will be made to electrical switches, and distribution boards, while maintenance work will be completed across bathrooms, balconies and decks, internal doors and window louvers.

Roofing, barge boards, weatherboard and guttering will all be repaired, while the pool area will benefit from new pool paving, shade sails and sun loungers.

A well-established conferencing destination in the High Country, the resort’s meeting rooms and events facilities will be upgraded with new tables and chairs. Peaks Restaurant will also receive new furniture including balcony settings, tables, chairs, bar tables and bar stools.

“One of the strengths of vacation ownership is the cyclical renewal of our portfolio, which ensures properties like The Sebel Pinnacle Valley continue to exceed the high standards expected by our nearly 30,000 members,” Vice President Operations for Travel + Leisure Co., Duncan Mars said.

The Sebel Pinnacle Valley is owned by Accor Vacation Club.
